Mythological origin

Logically speaking, in order to escape the pursuit of the White Ink Corpse, the cultivators of the Terra Empire should have been randomly launched to some corner of the galaxy by using bullet bows.

Statistically speaking, it is unlikely that they will encounter the Holy Adventists of the White Land.

However, the attire of these people who were sealed together was unmistakably that of members of the Dark Forest Space Pirates from the Terra Empire.

The Dark Forest Space Pirates were an organization hastily established in Terra after Edward Teach was pulled back from another world by Bai Mo.

The badge is easy to identify: three skulls side by side in the front, and a forest of bones in the back.

Due to Teach's wicked nature, the place is also full of lawless guys. Unlike Hildes's madness, they are more crazy and evil.

The word "rule of conduct" doesn't exist in this group's dictionary. They do whatever they want, and you can't reason with them at all. You can only talk to them about physics. They are a long-term destabilizing factor in the empire.

Although what's sealed away right now are just some low-level second-tier minions, their very existence speaks volumes.

……

"receive!"

Upon seeing Bai Mo appear, the old Taoist's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly pressed his hands down in the air in the direction of Bai Mo.

"town!"

The second channel followed immediately.

The large array space behind him rippled violently like water, and chains that were somewhere between illusion and reality flew out and rushed towards Bai Mo.

These chains exist between reality and illusion, exhibiting a translucent, pale golden hue with countless strange runes flowing through them.

Bai Mo simply didn't care at all.

Just as the torrent of golden chains was about to touch Bai Mo, a familiar voice suddenly rang out in his mind without warning:
"I'm the one who contacted you."

"Edward Teach?"

Upon hearing that cheeky voice, Bai Mo instantly connected all the dots.

He had been wondering why the Taoist in front of him, while possessing impressive combat strength at the fifth rank, could not possibly have triggered a special alarm from the benevolent corpse.

But if it was Teach who did it, then that makes sense.

"I know you have many questions..."

"How many years has it been since Dao Yuan?" Bai Mo's thoughts coldly cut off Teach's possible long-winded explanation.

The first question he posed directly addressed the most crucial coordinate—time.

Bai Mo realized something was wrong, so he needed a time anchor.

A brief silence followed, as if the signal were traveling through the distant void.

Then, Teach's voice rang out again.

"Dogen 672."

This number is a shock to Bai Mo's perception of time.

"So, more than a hundred years have passed?" Bai Mo's thoughts transmitted a very subtle fluctuation.

“Yes, it’s been over a hundred years,” Teach remarked, a rare occurrence for him.

Bai Mo realized where the problem lay.

The last time I had a clear memory anchor point—when the bullet bow was activated—was right after the New Year of Daoyuan 561.

In his perception, it has only been a little over ten years since then.

Could it be that the Ten Realms Immovable distorted its sense of time? Or perhaps, during the travel between parallel universes, the concept of time changed?
He has done far too little research on spacetime and time.

……

“Don’t resist. Let that young Taoist priest seal this thought away from you,” Teach continued. “Anyway, you won’t really be trapped. Let him take us to the Demon Suppression Tower to see some people.”

"..."

"This world is so interesting, that's why I'm willing to go to great lengths to bring you here too."

"Terra is preparing to wage war against it, but I'm not very interested in invading it."

"Terra? Is Terra still there?"

In Bai Mo's memory, the Terra that Teach mentioned, which is the Holy Terra Empire, should have scattered into countless stars after the Bullet Bow incident.

Terra, as a political entity, should have perished by then.

"Heh heh, you know about black magic, right?"

"Dark magic..." Bai Mo certainly knew about this, but he didn't know what to say.

“That’s right! It’s black magic!” Teach’s voice suddenly rose, and he became excited.

"Just five minutes before the bullet launcher was activated! The last five minutes!"

"That bookworm Como, who only knows how to draw circles on the star map, probably got hit on the head by something, or kicked by some passing evil god?"
In those final five minutes, he suddenly started screaming like a madman on the communication channels in the Hall of Mirrors.

He shouted that he had comprehended a black magic called "Ten Grounds Immovable," a teleportation black magic that could anchor itself to the endless earth!

Using the endless earth as a fulcrum, we can leverage time and space.

The principle behind it? Who knows? But he figured it out!
In the final minute of the countdown, he distributed the core runes and usage instructions of this thing, like leaflets, to every remaining ship commander who was still breathing.

"Ten Immovable Grounds? Black Magic?" Bai Mo's mind repeated the term, but the doubts in his heart did not dissipate; instead, they became even more intense.

A dark magic that was suddenly realized in the last five minutes when the empire was on the verge of destruction, and which just happened to solve the exile dilemma?

And it just so happens to be called the Ten Grounds Immovable?
So you're not even going to pretend anymore, are you?

"Level 13 dark magic, Ten Earths Immovable. It can forcibly create a temporary wormhole leading to the endless earth."

“As for the level 19 ‘Ten Immovable Lands’…” Teach, who was usually arrogant, had a rare seriousness in his voice, “It can generate a… fixed, two-way spatial passage connecting a designated location with the endless earth.”

"Relying on the Ten Lands of Immovability, we spent nearly fifty years searching the endless lands and recovering all of the Empire's flagships..."

"..."

"So Terra is now actually divided into two parts. One group has disembarked and settled on the Endless Land, while the other group lives on the flagships that have been launched to various parts of the universe by mass bullets."

"Then we encountered the people of the White Land. They ran into a powerful force called the Sky Shuttle Great World and were caught off guard... As a former comrade, Terra stood on the side of the White Land without hesitation."

Bai Mo listened as Teach recounted the history of the "more than one hundred years" since his disappearance.

He truly hadn't expected things to develop this way.

Terra did not perish because of the bullet bow incident; instead, it expanded further into a multiverse empire spanning the universe, anchored by the endless land.

However, the fact that these "ten places remain unchanged" strongly suggests that someone is orchestrating this behind the scenes.

As for the question of whether they are compatriots or not, it is truly ironic to hear it coming from Teach's mouth.

He himself is the god of civil war, cultivating the power of human despair, which is a power specifically designed to attack humans. It doesn't provide much benefit when fighting aliens, but it can easily multiply the damage by two or three times when fighting "compatriots".

P.S.: I was supposed to update the next day, but after reading the draft several times the next day, I wasn't satisfied with the plot, so I deleted it and rewrote several versions... (End of Chapter)
